Pros

One thing kept impressing me throughout these years at Compass is the quality of people it brings in, from technology, to operations and from support to sales. It's fascinating to receive help as well as challenges from a wide range thoughtful people. It makes me feel that I kept learning new things as time goes. Another area that the company excels is the determination to change and adapt. It's probably rooted in the culture that executive leadership team of the company acknowledges that few of them were real estate experts and therefore it's important to learn and improve from feedbacks of industrial experts.

Cons

Similar to many fast growing startups, the resource and maturity of operation occasionally fall behind to the speed of its growth, putting work under pressure and process at frequent evolvements. Luckily more so than not, we managed to go through these situations with successful results and the resulting achievements are rewarding.

Pros

Brilliant product / engineering / design team, excellent and friendly culture, and a great office featuring cool amenities like catered lunch, a fully stocked fridge, a ping pong table, a pool table, and a video game room. Work life balance is quite good. Unlimited WFH / sick days is nice, so long as you don't abuse the privilege. The company is certainly starting to feel like it is transitioning from a startup to a more corporate type work environment, in that there is a strict emphasis on tight code review and more process from product spec down to development. Company has and continues to expand rapidly and succeed in other regions, and has a positive looking future.

Cons

Comp seems to be an issue company-wide, which has led to some turnover. Engineering culture (while good) is quite separate from the rest of the team.
